This book introduces researchers and students to the physical principles which govern the operation of solid-state devices whose overall length is smaller than

The advent of semiconductor structures whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than the mean free path of carriers has led to the development of novel devic

Advances in semiconductor technology have made possible the fabrication of structures whose dimensions are much smaller than the mean free path of an electron.

This text treats electronic transport in the regime where conventional textbook models are no longer applicable, including the effect of electronic phase cohere

Annotation David K. Ferry introduces the physics and applications of transport in mesoscopic and nanoscale electronic systems and devices and expands on the beh
